Mitsubishi has introduced a flip phone with two screens, called D800iDS. Will Nintendo sue?

The name may infringe on trademark; and they could argue that it causes ambiguation amongst the industry and confuses consumers for no good reason. But Nintendo would have to care first.

I don't think they will even if they could

Wow.. I can't imagine the amount of suites we would see if Nintendo was allowed to reserve the term "dual screen" from any other manufacturer ever using it again.
